Animal Architecture and Biomimicry – A guided bus tour to Habeetats solitary bee site at Copenhagen's largest landfill
The most unsuspecting landscapes have the potential to become local biodiversity hotspots. Experience first-hand and learn about how reconciliation ecology has fostered a robust and diverse population of solitary bees.
Architecture has unwittingly provided stable habitats for solitary bees over thousands of years with the use of thatched roofs, mud walls and mortar, but how can architecture provide habitat in the absence of these materials? With a thorough understanding of the biology of solitary bees, Habeetats provides an architectural solution that fosters biodiversity in the most urban and industrial of landscapes: a landfill. On this tour of the largest urban landfill in Greater Copenhagen you will learn what solitary bees are, the architecture of their nests and how details are important for implementing effective and long term biodiversity solutions.
The tour begins and finishes at CAFx Halmtorvet 27 from where you will be driven in bus to the site and come back to CAFx Halmtorvet 27.
